Raspbian on qemu - can get login prompt, but can't login

Posted 09 October 2013 - 12:08 PM

I'm trying to emulate a Raspberry Pi on either my mac or my laptop (Ubuntu, 12.04) using qemu.

I've used the instructions here and here, and I can get the virtual OS to boot up to the login prompt, but when I log in with the default password (pi/raspberry) it displays the standard Linux identification ("Linux (none) 3.2.0 #1 etc") and Debian disclaimers ("ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY" and all that) prints a warning ("This Raspberry Pi has not been fully configured, please run raspi-config"). It then returns me to the login prompt.

Note: the instructions cited claim that I should be booting into a root shell - this does not happen.
